# Creating Projects This guide explains how to **create a new Project** so that tasks can be grouped under it. For a feature overview, see [Projects Overview](./Projects%20Overview.md). --- ## Prerequisites - You must be part of a [[User Groups Overview|User Group]] that has access to manage Projects --- ## Steps to Create a Project 1. Go to **Administration**. 2. Click on **Projects**. 3. Click the **Add New Project** button. 4. Enter a **name** for the Project (for example, *Lobby Renovation*). 5. Enter a **description** that explains the scope or purpose of the Project. 6. Click **Create**. The new Project is now available throughout the system. Anytime a new task is added — or an existing task is edited — you can assign it to this Project. --- ## After Creating a Project - Assign new tasks to the Project during [[Creating Tasks]]. - Reassign existing tasks to the Project via [[Edit a Task]] - Filter the Taks page by Project to see all of its tasks together. - Open the Project from the Projects area to see every assigned task in one view. --- ## Tips - **Use clear, recognizable names.** A name like *Lobby Renovation 2026* is easier to identify months later than *Project A*. - **Write a meaningful description.** Include the goal, scope, and any relevant dates so future board members or staff understand the Project at a glance. - **Don't over-create Projects.** Reserve Projects for multi-task initiatives — a single one-off task usually doesn't need its own Project. ---
